A 59-year-old Chinese national has been arrested in Ogun State for allegedly raping a woman at a quarry site in the Kobape area, police said.
The incident occurred Jan. 25, 2026, at the quarry, Nigerian Mirror gathered on Wednesday.
A senior security officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak to the media, said the suspect was arrested after the victim filed a complaint.
“A 59-year-old Chinese national was arrested following an allegation of indecent assault at a quarry in the Kobape area of the state,” the officer said. “The suspect was promptly taken into custody, and the case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department in Eleweran for further investigation.”
Confirming the arrest, Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer Babaseyi Oluseyi said the command had begun a full investigation.
